   ESS_STS_T         sts = ESS_STS_NOERR;
   ESS_USHORT_T      option;
   ESS_STR_T         newpassword = ESS_NULL;
   ESS_STR_T         fName = "PasswordList.txt";

    * 2 to automatically generate a password 
    **/

   sts = EssSetUsersToSS(hCtx, option, newpassword, fName, ESS_FILE_OVERWRITE); 
 
   if(sts)
      printf("Failed to migrate Users to Shared Services mode.\n");      

   return (sts);
